Today, Fania Records mourns the loss of the legendary Eddie Palmieri, one of the most innovative and unique artists in music history.
An award-winning pianist, composer, arranger, orchestra director, and producer, Palmieri began his career in New York City in the 1950s when he was only a teenager. He would go on to form bands like La Perfecta, La Perfecta II, and Harlem River Drive. Eddie also performed in concerts and recorded with the Tico All-Stars and the internationally acclaimed Fania All-Stars.
Over the course of his seven-decade-long career, Eddie recorded for labels such as Tico, Alegre, Fania, Concord Picante, RMM and Coco Records, leaving an indelible mark on over four dozen albums, including Palo Pa' Rumba, Champagne, Unfinished Masterpiece (with vocalist Lalo Rodríguez), Sing Sing, Vámonos Pa'l Monte (considered one of the classics of his discography), and The Sun of Latin Music, the first Latin album to win a GRAMMY in 1974.
He will be greatly missed.

PALO PÁ RUMBA was released in 1984, making this its 40th anniversary, and as noted on the album cover notes, its legendary pianist, bandleader and musician, Eddie Palmieri’s first album with all Puerto Rican musicians. It’s one of Eddie’s most dance-friendly albums. It earned a GRAMMY Award in 1985 for Best Tropical Latin Performance, one of eight GRAMMYS he won throughout his extensive career. The highlight tracks include “Palo Pá Rumba,” which opens the set with a steady roar that gets stronger and ends with a bang, followed by “Bajo Con Tumbao” an exciting salsa groove with a rousing chorus and “1983” a moving song about falling in love in and with Puerto Rico in 1983.
Today, we celebrate the album’s 40th by reissuing PALO PÁ RUMBA as Remastered Digital Album, making it available in HD audio for the first time. Listen to this lively Palmieri gem today!

Hoy celebramos al romántico de Fania All Stars, cantante y musico Cheo Feliciano. Nació el 3 de julio, 1935, en Ponce, Puerto Rico. Se mudo a Nueva York a los 17 años y allí comenzó su carrera musical. Fue musico para diversas orquestas con Tito Rodríguez, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri y otras. En 1971, se unió al sello Fania, y se convirtió en uno de los iconos del género salsa, grabando varios álbumes legendarios bajo el sello Vaya Records (subsello de Fania) hasta los principios de los 80. Cheo es considerado una de las voces más poderosas de la salsa, se caracterizó por su excelencia y su capacidad para interpretar diversos estilos musicales. Dejo un legado extraordinario y su increíble voz permanecerá en nuestras memorias y corazones para siempre. Feliz cumpleaños.

Hoy celebramos a una de las voces grandes de salsa, el gran Ismael Quintana en su cumpleaños. Ismael fue un verdadero sonero quien dejó su huella con las Orquestras de Eddie Palmieri y La Perfecta, Tito Puente y Fania All Stars. El nombre de Ismael Quintana aparece en muchos álbumes clásicos de la explosión salsera de los años 70, como corista y percusionista, además de coescribir algunos temas clásicos. Quintana también es conocido como uno de los músicos más agradables en el negocio de la música latina y permanecerá en nuestra memoria como uno de los mejores de Fania.
